1974 marks a turning point in our literature, which is divided into a first period, ideologically charged, and a second period, free from traumatic experiences. The division does not imply evaluative judgments. Each period has its own meanings and values. The material of volumes Z' and H' is suitable for the following evaluations:

In 1974, it seems that the chapter of interwar prose is closing, first for accidental reasons (several of its leading representatives die), but it may be considered that the ideological field to which they referred has been exhausted.

The same may have happened with the corresponding poetry. However, if we take into account the first signs (Elytis, Engonopoulos, Ritsos), it not only appears but is also certified that it continues to breathe beyond the storms.

From the 1960s onwards, the new generation of post-war prose writers has begun to impose its presence, differentiating the dominant landscape of the 1930s prose. Similarly, and perhaps more quickly established, the post-war poets with their work imposed a new poetic situation which was appreciated and evaluated favorably, albeit timidly and occasionally.

With the feeling that evaluation, especially of post-war literature, remains pending until the terms mature for it to become accessible as a whole and comparatively, the present work made the effort to record it equally and developed so that it can now be put in terms of dialogue, as it is imposed and deserved.
